Thoughts of the week
-Why do my nipples hurt?
-There's no such thing as too much garlic
-When the cat looks like he is having seizure he may just be sitting on a button he's playing with
-My cousin is the prettiest girl I have ever known, awesome.
-How hugely annoying when someone goes all apeshit because someone dared to ask her a seriously important question. “How are you going to cope with pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum life, and motherhood, if you cannot cope with your own depression?"
She found it the most insulting thing anyone had ever said to her. I would find it a worse insult if no-one who knew anything about her situation didn't ask the question she is obviously ignoring herself. I think the insult the woman felt had more to do with pointing out the obvious sore spot="I want a child no matter what, even at the expense of the child's quality of life". Because a depressed mother with urges to cut, deep seated trauma she is dealing with and chronic pain due to an illness will just put all that aside with positive views on a baby. WTF?
That's not hope...that's a delusion. And boy do people crash when you threaten to poke a hole in their aircastle.
BTW Nopes, I didn't make that comment but I certainally would have if anyone I knew thought wanting a child is the only thing you need for actually bringing one into this world.
-The simple fact that these days it's apparently not automatic to assume the person you are married to is in any way your love interest. Twilight zone anyone? Well hell if you are married I will assume that that person is in fact your "boyfriend/girlfriend", not just a roommate.
I guess I should read less blogs.
On a more positive note (though ranting is positive for me) I had a nice conversation with my cousin's son today. He was always so quiet I never got the chance. He's 12, his voice just dropped and he is still embarrassed to be referred to as cute. (Cute like baby bunnies btw, not cute as in "yummy ass on that guy") He told me about not liking it when all the girls in his netball team wanted to cuddle him. He's the only guy in his team. Give it a few years and he might chance his mind *snigger*, he just started at the same high school/junior high I went to.
Any time I recalled something about how cute he was as a baby (he didn't want to be cuddled then either which was torture as he was one of the cutest babies ever!) or as a toddler at baby swimming, jumping in the water as soon as he saw it, he cringed. hehehehe That only encouraged me, sooo much fun being an aunty type person. It's a family tradition to tease kids like that...at least I wasn't chasing him around trying to leave lipstick marks on his cheek. (I like my family, evil!)
I'm looking forward to the family reunion in November, still dreading the travel but having everyone there to party and sleep over a few nights will give me the chance to hang out with everyone. There are so many people I just get too little time with at birthdays.
Still working at loosing weight, a number of other people in my family are doing the same thing so maybe we all had the same ideas about getting ready for the weekend lots of pictures will be taken, not to mention the video. Though with the number of babies and toddlers there at least it will be easy to deflect the camera's attention.
Ooow babies! With the number of days we will be spending there I should be able to wrestle some away from their grandfathers for a short while...it will require stalking them but I can be sneaky if I want! *grin* Seriously the babies in my family never seem to need a place to sit, they are permanent fixtures on my uncle's arms. Ah well, so was I on my grandfather's belly 27 years ago, I used to push my grandmother out of the way to get to him first. I made the most of the two short years I had him and I imagine I can still recall his scent.
Family is so important, DNA has very little to do with it. It's about the people that are there when you need them, that loved you since you were a baby without a reason.
